Overview

GridPlus is an advanced grid component designed to facilitate efficient, high-volume data entry and interaction directly within the Appian Data Fabric. GridPlus integrates spreadsheet-like capabilities, providing an intuitive and highly customizable user experience. It streamlines the interaction with structured data, simplifying complex tasks such as bulk editing, data validation, and dynamic sorting, all while maintaining robust security and enterprise-level stability. End users can quickly edit individual cells or make bulk changes using multicell selection, and can execute related actions on their selected data. Theming and styling options are also included, enabling users to customize the component’s appearance to match their organization's branding.

    Hi  ,

    Could you please confirm which version of the component and helper plugin you are using?
    Support for primary keys of type Text was introduced in version 1.2.3.

    If you are using an earlier version, please try upgrading both the component and helper plugins to the latest release and check if the issue persists.

    Best regards,
    Ananth

  • Hello Team,
    I am facing issue with record types having primary of type text.

    Error: Failed to process primaryKey. Make sure the query expression rule is valid.

  • Issue with GridPlus: Unable to Validate and Format Decimal Numbers up to 6 Digits

    I am encountering an issue when attempting to display numeric values with more than two decimal places in the Grid Plus Component Plug-In (version 1.1.0).

    When I apply the number formatting option within the grid column configuration, the display is automatically limited to two decimal places.

    If I remove the formatting, all decimal places are displayed correctly (for example, 2.34567); however, in that case, the values are no longer displayed with comma formatting.

     

    Expected Behavior:

     

    Could you please advise how to configure Grid Plus to:

    • Allow and validate decimal numbers with up to six digits of precision.
    • Display these values with comma formatting (e.g., 123,456.789)?

    Please see the attached screenshots:

    1. With and without formatting in configuration:
      The grid contains two columns  one with formatting applied in the configuration and another without.
      • The formatted column automatically rounds values when more than two decimal places are entered.
      • The unformatted column correctly displays up to six decimal places but does not apply comma formatting to the values.
    2. Formatting up to six decimals:
      I attempted to modify the configuration to allow more than two decimal places, but it resulted in an error.
